for the actors to develop their own contextthrough improvisation.In TPC, Open Scene is used differently. Students are paired up (with an occasional trio, ifnecessary) and given a generic set of instructions explaining that they will perform a ‘scene’ withtheir partner(s) for their peers in approximately ten minutes. These instructions also include somereminders of things to consider that may help them communicate their scene, including tone,volume, body language, and use of relational space (all discussed previously in course content).Students are additionally encouraged to use readily available props as they deem appropriate.Each group is instructed to keep their scene a secret from other groups as they prepare. Then,each group is given

In addition, Lee S. Shulman, president emeritus of the Carnegie Foundationfor the Advancement of Teaching, has long encouraged teaching faculty to engage in scholarlysystematic research in the practice of teaching and learning. He argues that it is “only when westep back and reflect systematically on the teaching we have done, in a form that can be publiclyreviewed and built upon by our peers, that we have moved from scholarly teaching to thescholarship of teaching” [15, p. 1].Active learning exercises emphasizing the design process as a

Have a data block in the spreadsheet that shows thelabels for all problem variables, identifies the randomized parameters by name, and includesyour settings for those parameters’ minimum value(s), maximum value(s), and number ofdecimal places. If your LMS has other potential settings for algorithmic parameters, includethose as well. While the formulas and functions are obviously different for a spreadsheet than anLMS formula answer, this step is still valuable for building the question.Having the parameter value settings worked out in advance makes constructing the calculatedquestion in the LMS

Moreover, the group ofstudents who transferred or the group of students who were international, we found these twogroups of non-majority students also gave more positive responses than the majority. We foundthese three student groups shared a commonality: their common areas are the ability tocommunicate and explore from viewpoints of more than one academic field.

90% of my students (N=87) strongly agreedthat sharing my teaching philosophy is critical. Additionally, underrepresented students wereempowered and archived more than half the “A”s in my courses. In conclusion, since equal is notalways fair, instructors must make their expectations exceptionally clear to ensure that anystudent can succeed and earn an “A.” I believe it is time for educators to polish their teachingphilosophy, create appealing visual models, and share them with their students.IntroductionDeveloping a Teaching Philosophy Statement (TPS) is central in any academic career [1].
